We are planning to sell all our goats during this season.
***We are disease free herd.***
All our senior goats are tested annually by the lab for CAE, Johne's, checked by our livestock vet for CL, and tested every three years for TB & Brucellosis by our livestock vet and the lab.
Please contact us if you would like to see the actual results, we are happy to send them to you.
Our farm policy towards breeding
We believe that especially mini breeds such as Mini Nubians are in the extremely small community. Therefore, unlike the trend in goat breeding world and livestock breeding world, we AVOID LINE BREEDING at Opus 7 Farm as best as we can in order to keep our goats as healthy as they could be.
**Opus 7 Farm is excited to be your goat mentor free of charge. We are pretty good at match making for your homestead, farm and ranch needs. Please ask if you have any questions for your herd. We could even ask other goat breeders to do match making for your needs.

- We will not sell a single goat if it will not be housed with at least one other goat.
- We reserve the right to refuse to sell and to retain any goat even after the money exchange. When it happens, we will return the money.
- Our herd is CAE, Johne’s, TB and Brucellosis free. We can test for CL or arrange for any other tests to be performed at your expense.
- All goats sold will be disbudded, tattooed and with CDT shots. (except purchased before their CDT shot due date)
- We normally will not sell any dam-raised kids until they are of weaning age. We will not normally pull a kid and bottle feed for a buyer.
- We do not wether buckling until 8 weeks old for their health safety to avoid future Urinary Calculi.
- Goats/kids are sold on a first come, first serve basis. Goats/kids will not be held without a deposit. A nonrefundable deposit of $100 per goat will hold the your chosen goat(s) for 10 days after payment, or until the end of any agreed possession date window, unless other arrangements have been made prior to payment.
- After 10 days, or the end of any agreed possession date window, a $2/day boarding fee will be added to the sale price. Please reach out to us if something comes up that will effect the pick-up date, so we can make arrangements before these charges accrue.
- If (i) a deposit and/or partial payment has been made but you are unresponsive to attempted contacts for a period of one week after the agreed pick-up date, (ii) you fail to submit final payment(s), (iii) you fail to pick up the reserved goat(s) within 10 days of the agreed pick-up date, and/or (iv) you otherwise fail to fulfill any agreed conditions to the sale, the sale is terminated and the deposit and any other payments will not be refunded.
- Payments will be refunded in full if we cancel the sale, or if you are otherwise entitled to receive a refund under the terms of our purchase and sale agreement. Otherwise all payments are non-refundable.
- You may cancel a sale at any time prior to pick-up. However, any deposit and other payments are non-refundable. Any such deposit and/or payments may be applied toward a future purchase only upon our mutual agreement.
- You are responsible for the cost of transporting your purchased goat(s) and for the cost of any additional expenses, including registration fees, transfer fees, shipping fees, health certificates, additional requested disease testing, etc.
- We guarantee that all goats are healthy when sold and up to date on vaccinations and hoof trimming if needed. However, we cannot guarantee the health of an animal after it leaves our possession, as there are many different ways a goat could be stressed, exposed to illness or injured after leaving our farm. All sales are final once the goat(s) has left our property.
- In case of illness or injury to your reserved goat prior to pick up, the sale will be postponed or cancelled at our discretion. You may also choose to cancel the sale under these circumstances, and you will receive a full refund, or you may transfer any payments to another purchase if we mutually agree.
- No goat will leave our possession until you have signed two copies of our Purchase and Sale Agreement with Bill of Sale (one for you and one for us). All goats must be paid for in full before leaving our farm.
- No goat will leave unless we agree with that you already lined up with ruminant vet and prepared good enough housing and fencing at your property. Pictures must be send in.
- No goat will leave unless we agree with the type of transportation including the trailer, bedding and crates. (See under the examples)
- We accept PayPal, Cash, or Check (Payable to Opus 7 Farm). Checks must clear prior to the final sale. If final payment is to be made at pick-up, you must pay in cash or by PayPal * Because of Covid-19, we are only accepting PayPal payment at this moment.
Examples of transportations
Because stress is the biggest enemy for goats, we are very picky on the transportations.
Before the transport date, we count down the date of departure and make sure that all sold goats are healthy and stress-free. We administer some probios and Fortified vitamin B complex before the transport. We also provide some food that are appropriate for each goat's need for the transition. If the goat gets sick, we will postpone the pick up date for the goat.
We do not accept any kinds of outdoor transports. (on the back of pickup trucks, on the open or completely closed without air conditioned trailers as some examples.)
Please think, "Do I transport a newly acquired $600, 2 month old puppy here for this length of time in the hot (or cold) weather?"
If your answer is "No", the way of your transport is not suitable for the goats.
#1: Mini Van
The reason why we use this baby gate is because our back door is automatic and it takes a few moment to close the door. If the goats are panicked, they could easily escape before the back door latches. If your doors are not automatic, you may not need it.
#2: Cargo Van
#3: Dog Crate
This type of dog crates are only for babies. Most of the adult Mini Nubians will not fit in comfortably with this type.
**Although we are changing the offer to register & transfer all our babies after being paid full from 2021 season so this part is not going to be needed, we will leave it here.

How to transfer the ownership after register the goat
You will need to transfer the ownership of the goat from the seller to the buyer. You can do it when you are registering the goat at the same time.
or
You can transfer after you have the registration which is still the seller's ownership.
This registration paper needs to be written all the info by the seller.
It's also wise to get a "Bill of Sale" from the seller.
